A MAN will be sentenced today for the manslaughter of a young girl who perished in a firebomb attack on her Birmingham home four years ago.

Jabed Ali, will be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court after admitting the manslaughter of six-year-old Alisha Begum.

The youngster died when flames swept through the house she shared with her family in Bayswater Road, Perry Barr, in March 2006.

Ali, 27, was arrested in April this year after returning to the UK.

Another man, Daryll Tuzzio, of Perry Barr, was sentenced to eight years in a young offenders’ institution after being convicted of Alisha’s manslaughter and arson with intent to endanger life.

The court heard during his trail the firebombing was aimed to terrorise Alisha’s older brother, Abdul Hamid, who had formed an innocent relationship with a 16-year-old girl, which her family disapproved of.
